Retro Amusements

From about 12 (1992/93) I grew up next to a seaside and was able to visit many amusements. I used to play the likes of Streetfighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Daytona, Seag Rally, Outrun, etc but clearly the home game console has killed this market.

I know there are amusements in the seaside towns now but these seem to mostly consist of fruit machines or newer games.

Is there anywhere local to the midlands prefably thay anyone might know of that has the older games?

Many thanks

Re: Retro Amusements

Failing that, try MAME if you haven't already. There are any number of arcade ROM sites - I regularly indulge in nostalgia in the form of Space Invaders, Asteroids, Discs Of Tron and (though I'm too much in love with the gameplay to be any good at the actual game) Defender!
